Okay, so we can’t all end a relationship on good terms. 

And while that doesn’t mean we want to spend the rest of our lives feeling bitter towards our exes, it does mean we would get a tiny bit of satisfaction from seeing them suffer a bit.

Even if it’s not in real life.

Of course, many of you don’t give your exes a second thought, let alone waste time attempting to make them feel bad.

You’re bigger than that. Better than that.

But not everyone is as zen as you.

So for those of us with a cute little vengeful streak, there’s Revenge Dioramas.

Revenge Dioramas is a new Facebook page set up by friends Laura Stokes and Nichole Cordin to help people get over their exes.

The really nasty exes, that is.

The page also helps women get revenge on rude Tinder users, awful bosses and that guy that once insulted you on a date.

People are asked to simply send over… Read the full story

A father of two is adapting to life with three ostomy bags after his battle with Crohn’s disease left him facing six hours of emergency surgery.

Diagnosed with the chronic illness in 2011, Damian Bellis, 33, saw his symptoms worsen at Christmas, leaving him in excruciating agony.

He was told he was ‘hours’ from getting septicemia after an infection was discovered in his abdomen and lower pelvis.

Damien, who is from Llanfairfechan, Wales, told Daily Post: ‘The infection in my small intestine was leaking into my large intestine.

They say school days are the best days of your life.

But what do they know?

You learn loads of things that seem vitally important at the time but you swiftly forget in a matter of years.

Such as the following.

Here’s 12 things we did at school that we can’t do now.

1. Remember all the words to hymns

From the age of four we sang hymn after hymn in church and assemblies.

Now at a wedding or funeral we can’t even remember the second verse to All Things Bright And Beautiful.

Why didn’t we write them down?

A visit to Bristol is like no other.

What more could you want?

Prepare your heart and eyes for near-unbearable levels of cuteness.

Franklin Park Zoo has just welcomed a newborn Nigerian dwarf goat, named Chewbacca and born to parents Leia and Lucky.

Chewbacca was born on in the early hours of Tuesday, February 16, weighing in at just 4lbs.

Shortly after birth she was already standing and nursing, and she’s since been hanging out in the barn with her parents, testing out the whole walking thing, and generally discovering the world.

Chewbacca is Leia and Lucky’s second kid, and the family will all live together in Franklin Farm.

Oh, and in case you couldn’t tell,… Read the full story

There’s a colouring book for everything these days. Harry Styles fans. People who want to colour in pictures of pigeons. Porn ones.

So why wouldn’t there be one specifically designed to help you get through a breakup? And, more specifically, your lesbian breakup?

26-year-old artist and teacher Nawwal Moustafa has finally given those left heartbroken by the end of a same sex relationship what they’ve been so desperately craving. Not a vat of ice cream and nachos, but a colouring book that understands their struggles.

It’s called Chin Up, Dreamboat! A Creative Companion For Lesbian Breakups, and – after a very successful Kickstarter campaign… Read the full story

Oh, Japan. Always at the forefront of taking delicious food and making it cuter.

Kotoba no Haoto is a café in Kyoto serving up an adorable take on parfaits. And by adorable, we of course mean cat-themed.

Chefs create the base of the dessert with chopped fruit and other healthy deliciousness, which is Instagrammable enough on its own.

Then the magic begins. They take one perfect scoop of ice cream, add tiny chocolate paws and whiskers, and give their creation eyes and a little nose. Yep, we’re talking ice cream that looks like a little cat. We’re very easily excited.

Meet Stevie. She’s a blind rescue cat father-of-two Patrick Corr adopted four years ago from a shelter in Cork, Island. And she’s nailing that cool ‘I go hiking every Sunday morning’ vibe.

Stevie may be blind, but she’s still curious about her natural surroundings, and loves to have adventures.

Patrick wrote on BoredPanda: ‘She’s a natural explorer and loves to accompany me on hikes in the beautiful Irish countryside and the surrounding mountains.

Proof that you don’t need a snooty waiter and an unpronounceable wine to have a romantic night out.

Daniel and Cassie, a couple from Sacramento, skipped the usual fancy restaurant for their Valentine’s Day night out, choosing a place where they knew they’d get food they actually enjoyed: Taco Bell.

But hey, it was Valentine’s Day. So they decided to make things a little more romantic by transforming their table into their very own posh dinner place.

Think flowers, napkin rings, candles, and a table cloth.

Whether you’re 27 or 37, it’s easy to feel like you’re still a small child pretending to be a grownup, going to a job you’re secretly terrible at (you’re not), not having enough friends (you do), and being entirely incapable of the most simple adult tasks.

Everyone feels it. You’re not alone.

The answer isn’t throwing away all your childish qualities, buying a suit, and acting ultra serious all the time. Admit that you don’t have things figured out – if only to let other people know they’re not total idiots for not knowing how to pay taxes.

Eyeliner is something so magical, it occupies a higher spiritual plane than all other makeup.

It’s there for you when you run out of foundation and need to distract everyone from your blotchy skin. It pulls you together. It’s the one makeup trick you can happily wear every damn day and for every occasion.

Sure, sometimes it fills us with fury and makes us feel like a total failure. It occasionally turns us to envy when we… Read the full story

If you’ve never witnessed the true joy of watching a cat lose its damn mind over catnip, you’re missing out. It’s one of the greatest pleasures in life. For you and the cat.

Sure, you’ll feel a little bit bad. You’re essentially giving your cat special cat drugs for your own amusement.

But it’s so, so funny. And they like it, so it’s okay.

We’ve always wondered: what would happen if we gave our cat an entire box full of catnip? Would they just roll around in a state of glee for four consecutive hours? Would they have a massive comedown the next day?

Anyone in a long-term relationship knows that waiting hours between texts to seem cool and flirty messages are pretty quickly traded in for texts by the minute asking for opinions on ridiculous things, discussing dinner options, and the occasional ‘love you’.

Taken out of context, most of these messages would most likely make your relationship look insane, unbearably boring, or borderline needy.

And as one internet person known as davidvanbeveren has shown, if you get a bunch of those random texts together, stick them into one glorious collage, and share them on Reddit, standard relationship… Read the full story
